The Flying Eagles hit back through Musa Mohammed in the second half to clinch a draw, and maintain their unbeaten record after three matches at the tourney.
Hosts Senegal have also qualified for the Fifa Under 20s following their dramatic 4 - 3 win over Congo.
The results after the Group A fixtures means Nigeria top Group A with 7 points, followed by Senegal, who finished with 4 points, with Ivory Coast crashing out despite not losing a game.
