Earlier, the team were hosted to a send-forth dinner by Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday after they arrived from Abu Dhabi, where they had a week-long pre-tournament training.
The Super Eagles open their campaign against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday, followed by a mouth-watering clash with hosts Cote D’Ivoire on January 18th and end the group campaign with Guinea-Bissau on January 22nd.
The full compliment of the 25-man team of players and officials were seen, except strikers Kelechi Iheanacho and Terem Moffi, who will join the team later.
Iheanacho has just recovered from a muscular injury sustained at Leicester City FC, while Moffi, a late replacement for injured Victor Boniface, will join after he has played a Ligue 1 game on Saturday against Rennes.
