Niger’s President Mahamadou Issoufou on Monday 08 March 2021 won the "2020 Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership", world's largest leadership prize.
Issoufou is the sixth recipient of the Ibrahim Prize, which is awarded on criteria of good governance, democratic election and respect of terms limits.
He is the Niger’s outgoing president after serving two terms as required by the country’s constitution.
Issoufou was the prime minister of Niger from 1993 to 1994 and president of the National Assembly from 1995 to 1996.
Niger, a landlocked country in West Africa named after the Niger River, has been rocked by terror attacks for the past years.
