A sublime effort from Mohamed gave Sudan a first-half lead as the Flying Eagles were unlucky not to score after Gavi Thompson and Victor Osimhen went close with their efforts.
Samuel Chukwueze put the Emmanuel Amuneke managed side on level terms seven minutes after the hour mark.
With the game looking like ending in a draw, Osimhen popped up to drill home the winner three minutes from time.
Barring an upset, Nigeria’s flag will be hoisted at the 2017 edition of the AWC in Zambia.
The return leg will take place at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos in the next fortnight.
