Nigeria have moved up one place in the monthly FIFA ranking despite not participating in grade A games last month.
The Super Eagles are now ranked 42nd in the world and 7th in Africa after accumulating 664 points.
Nigeria missed out on the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea, failing to defend their title and also not being able to garner points accrual from the tournament.
However, Nigeria’s home based Eagles played two friendly matches last month in Dubai, losing 1-0 to Ivory Coast and beating Yemen 2-0, with the matches aimed at making up for the team’s inactivity in January.
