Two panelty misses by the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon denied the team the chance to progess to the finals of the competition.
The Super Falcons however converted all four panelists lead by Captain Onome Ebi to edge out their opponents after extra-time.
Nigeria will now face either the Bayana Bayana of South Africa or Mali who are currently playing at the Cape Coast Stadium.
The Super Falcons have also secured a ticket for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup to be held in France.
