it may be primarily portfolio or direct investment?

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the nature of investment sectors, there may be primarily direct investment in Nigeria. Transport, a kind of direct investment, is the biggest sector of Chinese investment in Nigeria. The investment of  transport is about investment on building roads and subways. It is a kind of direct investment because roads and subways are physical assets. Also, energy, real estate, technology are the main part of investment in Nigeria. Moreover, there is no investment in the sector of finance, so no portfolio investment which invests non-physical assets doesn't primarily exist here.
