The 28-year-old was part of the Super Eagles’ squad against Sierra Leone in June, where Nigeria won 3-2.
The next AFCON tournament will be held in Ivory Coast in January-February next year, and the Super Eagles need a win against Sao Tome and Principe to maintain their current group lead. The leader has 12 points from 5 games.
Ojo has extensive NPFL experience playing for the Sunshine Stars, Abba Warriors and Akwa United. His three-time AFCON-winning roster was joined by newcomers such as Gift his Oban and Victor his Boniface.
