A Chinese man works in Nigeria on railway projects, Shi Baoyin reports in Zhengzhou.
It was a sunny morning in Abuja on April 21 as a group of residents - mostly local tribal chiefs - gathered for a ceremony. Amid their applause and cheers, a Chinese man was declared "Wakilin Ayyuka", a local honorary title that translates as "engineering chief".
The man is 34-year-old Kong Tao, general manager of China Civil Engineering Construction Corp Nigeria Ltd.
