Oghenekaro Etebo’s free kick in the 32nd minute was Nigeria’s best opportunity in the first half.
The second half of a truly dire contest followed a similar pattern to the first with the North Africans bossing possession while Nigeria sporadically threatened on the break.
Clear cut opportunities were at a premium as both sides were content with the point that would take them through to the semis, refused to take too many risks.
The points sees Nigeria progress to the last four as Group B’s runners up with five points from three games.
