Five-time world champions Nigeria will battle Burkina Faso, Niger Republic and Togo in Group B.
The Nigeria U-17 team will arrive in Accra today to begin the defence of their WAFU B U-17 Championship title at this year’s edition of the competition.
The Championship will commence on Wednesday, 15th May.
Recall that the Golden Eaglets swept aside every opposition before them to achieve glory in another Ghanaian city, Kumasi, two years ago but failed to light up the Africa U17 Cup of Nations in Algeria and were therefore ineligible to compete for another world title in Indonesia.
