The Confederation of African Football, CAF, on Saturday awarded three points and three goals to the Super Eagles following the botched 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya.
The Super Eagles consolidated their top position in the group following the verdict.
The Nigerian side now have 10 points from four matches, four points clear of nearest rivals Benin.
Libya remain bottom of the group with one point.
A draw with Benin in Abidjan next month will qualify the Super Eagles for the 2025 AFCON to be hosted by Morocco in December 2025.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) also fined the Libya Football Federation $50,000.
The fine is to be paid within 60 days of notification of the decision.
