The invited players are to resume camp at the Serob Legacy Hotel, Wuye, Abuja on May 10.
The first phase will take place between May 10 and 15, with the second phase happening between May 17 and 22 and the third phase set for May 24 to June 1.
Only players selected for the trip to Banjul will take part in the fourth phase, scheduled for June 2 to 12.
