The experienced goalkeeper was a last-ditch replacement for Udinese shot stopper Maduka Okoye, who insisted he will only be at the AFCON in Morocco as No 1.
Uzoho, 27, was No 1 at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
He has only played a league game for his Cypriot club Omonia Nicosia this season.
Officials said more players are expected to fly into Egypt later today.
Coach Eric Chelle, his assistants as well as the backroom staff have also touched down in Cairo as the Super Eagles camp opened officially today.
