The Gunners were scheduled to face the Super Eagles at the Abuja National Stadium on August 5 as part of their summer preparations for the 2012-13 Premier League campaign in what would have been the club's first trip to Africa since manager Arsene Wenger's arrival in 1996.
However, it appears that logistical difficulties regarding the trip have arisen and the north London club feel that certain requirements necessary for the trip have not been fulfilled.
In a statement on the club's official website, marketing director Angus Kinnear said: "Bringing a top-level club to an international market is always complicated and logistically challenging.
"With the proposed match in Nigeria planned for early August, we could not get comfortable on everything needed to satisfy our requirements, so we have reluctantly taken the decision to postpone the team’s visit."
