Sierra Leone’s Jagaban Honoured Among Africa’s 100 Most Reputable Leaders 2026

Mohamed Omodu Kamara, widely known as Jagaban in Sierra Leone, has been named among the “100 Most Reputable Africans 2026” by the Global Reputation Forum in partnership with Reputation Poll International.

This prestigious accolade is believed to be a measure of popularity, benchmark of trust, accountability, and measurable influence across the continent. The award celebrates leaders whose service has inspired confidence, strengthened communities, and shaped positive narratives for Africa’s future.

At a time when Africa seeks authentic leadership rooted in ethics and outcomes, the 100 Most Reputable Africans list honours individuals who embody values beyond politics values that reflect the aspirations of everyday citizens.

For Sierra Leone, this recognition reinforces that Jagaban’s leadership is not only acknowledged nationally but respected across Africa.
The selection panel emphasised that reputation is “earned quietly and tested publicly.” The organisers said leaders honoured in the 2026 list demonstrated integrity in actions, accountability in service, impact in community strengthening and commitment to public trust.
Experts believe that these are precisely the qualities Sierra Leone needs in its next generation of leadership. Some locals agree that Jagaban’s journey from entrepreneur and community advocate to national leader reflects values that matter most to citizens.
They believe that his leadership philosophy has always been clear: service over self, progress for all, and transformation through unity. His track record in business, community support, and political engagement showcases a leader prepared to turn Sierra Leone’s aspirations into real opportunities and sustainable development.

His supporters stressed that he stands tall among a distinguished group shaping their nations with dignity and purpose. His recognition is not just a personal milestone, but a national honour that reflects Sierra Leone’s potential on the continental stage.
They argue that Jagaban as a leader has earned respect from peers and institutions, commanded trust from citizens, and can deliver transformative leadership.

His inclusion among Africa’s top 100 reputable figures signals growing confidence both at home and abroad in his capacity to guide Sierra Leone toward prosperity, justice, and growth.
