According to her, the registration process
which took quite some time to complete
was received with so much applause and
excitement from industry and media
stakeholders across the country finally
legitimising the Association as the
authentic body to regulate the practice of
blogging in Nigeria.



As part of the way forward, the association
has set up various committees to mobilise
more members to join the group.



A membership drive committee headed by
versatile blogger Laila Ijeoma (Lailasblog)
has been set up for this purpose.



In the same vein, an ethics committee that
will oversee the activities of members on
ethical behaviours and standards has also
been set up.


The committee is headed by
Mr. Adrian Egonu (Naija Car Lovers Blog).
The Interim Executive Members of the
Association include Chris Kehinde Nwandu
(CKN News), President, Femi Adeoya
(Skytrend News) Secretary, Helen Ozor
(Helen Blog), Head, Media and Publicity, Mrs
Nelly Agwu (Indepth News), Treasurer.



Bulletin.com.ng Reported That, The
President of the association, Mr Chris
Kehinde Nwandu stated that the aim of the
group is to set up a standard for the
practice of blogging in Nigeria as well as
formulate policies aimed at engaging
major stakeholders, government
functionaries, and the public.
Nwandu added that the association will
also see to the fact that the practice of
blogging is not abused or used as an
avenue to blackmail or settle scores among
individuals and stakeholders, adding that
in the months ahead, the activities of the
association will be made public.



For a start, a logo has been approved by
the association to be placed on the
website of all members to distinguish
them from other players in the industry.



Meanwhile the association has released
the following numbers for easy access to
the group.
