But it was Ghana who took the lead in the 10th minute through Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey.
He tried a long range effort and it squirmed under the despairing dive of Francis Uzoho.
Nigeria were level midway through the first half when Watford defender William Troost-Ekong dispatched a penalty.
But Ghana held on to claim the tie on away goals and advance to the finals in Qatar later this year.
