“The above shown road is known as Agboakoli ancient road . This road is one of the most strategic road in Alayi community , Bende L.G. A , Abia state of Nigeria . It is the only central road that crosses straight from Akolifu , Alayi into Amankalu , Alayi central main road through Amaokwelu , all the way to Akoli Emenyi . On Akolifu side ,this road is connected to Isiukwuato, Igbere , Abariba , Ohafia road. Then on its Amaokwelu Amabo boundary , it goes into , Amabo, Amapu, Ndimbada, Ifuikpo , Amaoji elu and Agbo , Amaoba , Ndeuche and Agboapu, where its right side goes to Amaeke while the left side goes to Agwumabiri and Ezialayi and joining , Ugwueke Ezeukwu main road there “
“This road used to be heavily harassed by erosion with heavy gullies . But to the God glory of God , our able representative of Bende constituency at the federal house by name , Rt Hon. Chief , Barrister Benjamin Okezie Kalu, who is also our current Deputy Speaker Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria , has facilitated the construction of this road for us the people of Alayi community. As I write , the major erosion part of this road has fully been well and solidly constructed, while work is still ongoing on the remaining other part of it . The great work done on this road is so marvelous and can be likened to an unbelievable miracle to the people of Alayi and beyond due to the dangerous erosive nature of this road . No body ever believed that the construction of this road was going to be possible. But today our able DSP of the Federal Republic of Nigeria , a man with a good heart for his people and for the entire Nigeria has made the construction of this very road possible”
“On behalf of my community and the entire Alayi community, I say a big thank you to you our able , Rt . Hon .Benjamin Okezie Kalu , for this great work you have done on this road and still doing . We indeed appreciate you Chief and are with you always . May God continue to bless you Chief . Amen . If you sees this good work , please help us also thank our able Rt . Hon . Chief Benjamin Kalu. We are indeed very grateful”
