Head coach Justine Madugu has invited 25 players for the tournament, with all members of the squad expected to report to camp on Monday.
The team will use the training camp to sharpen tactics and build fitness before relocating to Rabat for their group-stage matches.
The nine-time African champions will be chasing a record-extending 11th WAFCON title when the tournament kicks off in Morocco.
Nigeria have been drawn in Group C alongside Malawi, Zambia, and Egypt.
