This ceremony is a recognition of the growing importance of the Chinese community in Kano, the largest city in northern Nigeria, said Jimeh Saleh, editor-in-chief of BBC Hausa.
There are many Chinese businesses and traders in the city who are sometimes accused of taking jobs from other people and engaging in unfair competition.
Zhang will be a vital link between the Chinese community and the people.

According to the BBC, this appointment should allow Zhang to attend meetings at the palace of the Emir and participate in the traditional festival of horse riding, known as durbar, with his entourage during Eid festivities.
The Kano emirate said the appointment follows "an increase in the number of Chinese businessmen who engage in various forms of business without a unified management structure."
A member of the Kano emirate told the BBC that "the emirate needs a liaison officer to resolve disputes arising from commercial transactions between Chinese and Kano traders."
