The West Africans are winless in Group C after recording draws in their opening two games against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
“Nigeria comes first, that’s what I expect from every player I invite,” he said at the media briefing.
“You have to play as you play in your clubs and you must have commitment.
“The first targets are to qualify for the World Cup and AFCON and a win over South Africa will set the tone.”
