The 30-year-old last played for the Super Eagles at the 2013 Afcon in South Africa but he was handed a recall for the crucial qualifying matches in November by head coach, Stephen Keshi.
“I had a conversation with Ikechukwu Uche on Tuesday evening and he told me he can’t wait to join the team. He’s very excited by the prospect of playing for the Super Eagles again,” spokesman of the national team, Ben Alaiya has said.
He added that Uche is looking forward to adding to his 18 international goals by scoring in the upcoming game against Congo and South Africa.
