The former Union St Gilloise star only made his Super Eagles debut in September against Sao Tome and Principe.
Boniface has been in impressive form for Bayer Leverkusen since his arrival at the BayArena this summer.
The Nigerian scored his eighth league goal of the campaign in Die Werkself’s 1-1 home draw against Borussia Dortmund last weekend.
Cote d’Ivoire will host the 2023 AFCON finals from January 13 to February 11.
The Super Eagles are drawn in Group A with hosts Cote d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau.
