Ifeoma Onumonu and Jennifer Echegini came close to opening the scoring for Nigeria in the first half but they were denied the lead by a combination of good goalkeeping and poor marksmanship.
The Super Falcons also struggled to create scoring chances in the second half, ending the game 0-0.
The nine-time champions after topping their group will now face the Copper Queens of Zambia in the quarter-finals on Friday.
