Nigeria started the second half brightly bringing in top scorer Chikatara, but the disciplined Guinean defence always kept the Eagles at bay.
It was the Nigerian opponents that almost added a second when goal scorer Sankhon dribbled his way into the Nigerian box but scuffed his shot narrowly wide.
Guinea progressed alongside Tunisia who demolished Niger 5-0.
