“Obassa knows Nigerian football very well since he plays for Remo Stars, which is one of the best clubs in Nigeria at the moment,” he told Mega Sports.
“So his experience and know-how can also be useful to us, whether in training or possibly in matches.”
The Cheetahs of Benin Republic will host the Super Eagles at the Felix Houphet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan on Thursday.
They need a win from the game to boost their chances of qualifying for Morocco 2025.
