MONROVIA, LIBERIA – The Board of Directors of the Liberia Petroleum Regulatory Authority (LPRA) has extended its warmest congratulations to Director General Marilyn T. Logan on her selection to the Fifth Cohort of Amujae Leaders by the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Presidential Center for Women and Development.
The Amujae Initiative, widely regarded as one of the most competitive leadership platforms on the African continent, does not merely celebrate past accomplishments. Rather, it elevates leaders who demonstrate both proven excellence and the ambition to drive transformative change. Ms. Logan’s inclusion in this elite cohort places her among a select group of women whose vision and trajectory signal profound impact for their nations and sectors.
In its statement, the LPRA Board emphasized that this recognition directly reflects the exceptional caliber of leadership Ms. Logan has brought to the Authority. Under her stewardship, the LPRA achieved a landmark breakthrough: concluding Liberia’s first major petroleum agreement in over a decade. That achievement has not only restored international investor confidence but has also repositioned Liberia as a credible and attractive destination for frontier oil and gas exploration.
As the first woman to lead the LPRA, Ms. Logan has proven that principled, evidence-driven leadership can deliver nationally significant outcomes within one of Liberia’s most technically complex sectors. Her tenure has been marked by a steadfast commitment to transparency, technical rigor, and institutional integrity.
With this selection, Ms. Logan joins an influential network that now spans 70 women leaders across 29 African countries. This cross-border community of influence will further strengthen her capacity to advance the LPRA’s institutional mandate, while enhancing the Authority’s visibility and strategic partnerships across the continent and globally.
The Board noted that this distinction will generate meaningful returns for Liberia’s energy sector. As an Amujae Leader, Ms. Logan will gain access to sustained mentorship, executive leadership development, and high-level convenings with senior global leaders and her professionally diverse cohort members—opportunities that will directly benefit Liberia’s petroleum governance and policy landscape.
“The Board is proud of this distinction and extends its warmest congratulations to Director General Logan on this well-deserved honor,” the statement concluded.
