Golden Eaglets lead after a first half they dominated from start to finish.
Nigeria took the game to their opponents, who preferred to sit back in their own half of the pitch and hit the Golden Eaglets on the counter.
The opening goal was scored by striker Rapha Adams, who poked home a rebound after Niger defence appeared to have cleared the danger.
Niger were denied the equaliser two minutes from the break by the post.
The Junior Mena also hit the crossbar after just seven minutes of action.
Nigeria’s central defender Ekishola was forced out of the game by injury after just 11 minutes.
The Golden Eaglets created the better chances and would have been a lot happier if they had put away more of these openings.
