The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has described as alarming the recent hikes in prices of petroleum products in the country.
Fuel prices at the local pumps shot up by about 5.4 percent from September 1, 2022, with petrol and diesel trading at an average 11.55 and 14.50 Ghana Cedis.
From the beginning of the year, petrol and diesel were trading at an average 6.9 and 7.0 cedis per litre.
The leadership of the GPRTU has scheduled a meeting this week to deliberate on the increasing fuel prices and consider policy decisions that will limit the impact on its members.
