Nigeria made a losing start to the competition after bowing down to Senegal, before clawing back with victories over Libya (6-3) and Tanzania (4-2) to qualify.
For their own part, the host nation made it three wins out of three thanks to wins over Morocco (6-1), Madagascar (4-2) and Cote d’Ivoire (10-3).
Victory for either country will hand them a ticket to take part in the 2019 Fifa Beach Soccer World Cup slated for Paraguay.
In the other semi-final pairing, favourites Senegal slug it out with Morocco for a place in the final.
