Akwa United star Anthony Anioke has earned a Nigeria Under-23 call-up.
The center-back is enjoying his first season in Uyo since arriving from Sunshine Stars before the start of the season.
He featured in all the games for Akwa United in the first round of this season, and will now get a chance to impress on international duty.
Goalkeeper Ifeanyi Nchekwube and striker Ifeanyi Ogba who are members of Akwa United’s first-team setup, will also be joining Anioke with the Under-23s.
They will face Guinea for their U23 AFCON final qualification round later this month.
