Troost-Ekong, who has been a mainstay with the Super Eagles since 2015, announced his departure in a video post on his X handle on Thursday evening.
In the video, he simply stated: “Today, I am announcing my retirement from international football.”
The defender, who was born in the Netherlands to a Nigerian father and a Dutch mother, noted that representing the three-time African champions was an “honour.”
