Sannoh credited I.B Blog for his understanding of blogging in the country, explaining that I.B Blog brought bloggers together, which led to the formation of the association.

He concluded by outlining the duties of the newly formed bloggers association: uniting bloggers, registering and licensing them, providing training, enforcing disciplinary measures, and offering support.
