Monrovia – Mr. Mohammed Ibrahim, founder of the Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership has told FrontPageAfrica that former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has proven to women in Africa that there is no glass ceiling for women’s achievement in leadership. “It is an achievement for African girls and women that there is no glass ceiling and they can really help to move Africa forward,” he said while commenting on the awarding of the prestigious prize to former President Sirleaf. The Mo Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership awarded to Madam Sirleaf recognizes her relentless commitment to human rights and democracy in Liberia. Ellen Johson-Sirleaf, who served terms as President of Liberia from 2006 to 2017, is the fifth recipient of the Ibrahim Prize. Nevertheless, during her 12 years in office, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf laid the foundations on which Liberia can now build.”
