Eagles lost 0-1 to Guinea in the last group match finishing a distant third as winners, Tunisia and conquerors, Guinea progressed to the quarterfinals of the biennial showpiece.
Amoo said the championship helped greatly in the discovery of few domestic players who can readily make the mainstream team, Super Eagles.
"Of course, the championship is not 100 percent losses there are gains as few players shone like million stars and can immediately fit into the Super Eagles programme.
"Chisom Chikatara is a standout performer, I was not surprised at his good rating because he was with us in the U-23 so I had the privilege of working closely with him.
"Chisom is a bundle of talent and will do greater thing in the near future in his chosen career.
"Osas Okoro and Ikechukwu Ezenwa, too performed excellently well at the championship.
"That's not to say the trio is the only performers but I can always put my money on the three to earn instant place in the Super Eagles.
"The three players actually standout in Rwanda Chan 2016 and clearly the positive of the championship, " said the former Super Eagles assistant coach to supersport.com.
Amoo however said Eagles' sudden elimination from the championship is more psychological than technical.
"After a bright start against Niger then a 1-1 draw against Tunisia it was a signal we are dropping instead of ascending in form.
"The last game we needed at least a draw to stay on while Guinea need a win to progress.
"Experience has shown that the team that need a win to advance in a championship often get the desired result over the one that needs a draw.
"Psychologically, our boys did not fight enough to earn the desired result that would have seen them move to the quarterfinals.
"Obviously, there is something wrong with the team in the game against Guinea but I believe the better side won the clash," said the former 3SC and Sunshine Stars coach.
Nigeria claimed bronze in the immediate past edition of the championship in South Africa under former manager, Stephen Keshi..
