Following the fuel price adjustments announced in this year’s budget, the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has put forward a plan to engage the government on price increases in transport fares.
The leadership of the union has consequently arranged a meeting with the Minister of Transport to deliberate on the announced fuel adjustments and to make a case for a corresponding increase in transport fares.
The General Secretary of the GPRTU, Mr Godfred Abulbire Adogma, disclosed this in an interview with the Daily Graphic. He said an upward adjustment in fuel prices would take a heavy toll on the operations of members of the union and its decision to have discussions with the government.
