He took charge of two 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
The Eagles beat Benin 3-0 last Saturday and drew 0-0 at Rwanda on Tuesday.
Speaking at the Kigali Airport after the game, Eguavoen refused to be drawn into preparations for Nigeria’s next game against Libya.
He said:
“I have been given a mandate to handle two games.
“I will want to say I am very pleased with the boys and again, thanks to the NFF leadersip and all the boys who supported me.
“It ends today. I can’t talk about Libya, because I haven’t been told about it.”
