The Super Eagles won the keenly contested encounter 4-2 after it ended 1-1 in regulation and extra -time.
The West Africans are yet to record a win in the qualifiers after two draws against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
South Africa are second in the group with three points from two games.
Rwanda are the surprise leaders with four points from the same number of matches.
