Aku got the curtain-raiser for Nigeria in the 16th minute and added another goal ten minutes after.
While Algeria got better and halted the Falconets’ goal rush afterwards, substitute Olapade put the icing on the cake; scoring in the 90th minute as Nigeria recorded a comprehensive 3-0 win.
Nigeria will now wait on the wings to face either Morocco or Cameroon in the final on August 29.
