Stephen Keshi has unveiled a 20-man list for the Mandela Challenge.
There is a return for strikers Emmanuel Emenike and Shola Ameobi, while Ogenyi Onazi who missed the FIFA Confederations Cup, is also invited.
Emenike has been out of the national team picture due to injury, while Ameobi recently sorted out a clause in his Newcastle United contract, that saw him miss the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa earlier this year.
Vincent Enyeama is dropped, while Obinna Nsofor has been handed a recall.
The game will be played on August 14, at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in South Africa and is organised to honour ailing ex-president of the country, Nelson Mandela.
