Fuel Prices Go Down As Government Removes Price Stabilization And Recovery Levies

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has announced that President Akufo-Addo has given his consent to abolish the price stabilisation and recovery charges on petrol, diesel, and LPG for two months.

The permission comes after the NPA advised the Minister of Energy to seek government assistance to reduce the impact of rising petroleum prices on consumers on the global market.
