Agba first gained recognition with Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets, playing a pivotal role in their 2019 WAFU U-17 Championship victory in Niger, where they defeated Ghana’s Black Starlets on penalties to qualify for the CAF U-17 Africa Cup of Nations.

He went on to feature prominently at the 2019 U-17 AFCON in Tanzania, helping Nigeria to a fourth-place finish, and was also part of the squad at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil. There, Agba helped the Eaglets top their group before they were eliminated by the Netherlands in the Round of 16.
