Oghenekaro Etebo put Nigeria ahead in the 14th minute from the penalty spot after he was brought down.
The Algerians drew level in the 31st minute via an own-goal by Segun Oduduwa who headed in a Zinedine Ferhat cross.
Etebo restored Nigeria’s lead when he scored his
second of the game and fifth of the tournament.
In the 68th minute, Algeria were awarded a penalty after Oduduwa committed a foul in the 18-yard box but Ferhat’s effort was saved by Emmanuel Daniel.
Every effort by the Algerians to draw level proved futile as Nigeria U-23 Eagles held on to claim their first title.
