District Chief Executive (DCE) for Shai Osudoku in the Greater Accra Region, Ignatius Godfred Dodoe, has made a passionate appeal to commercial drivers and okada riders to strictly comply with the 15% reduction in lorry fares announced by the GPRTU two weeks ago.
The Assembly has noted the failure of some commercial drivers to fully adhere to the new transport fare reductions.
Transport charges across Ghana were reduced by 15% starting Saturday, May 24, 2025, following successful negotiations between transport operators and the Ministry of Transport.
The fare adjustment reflects recent macroeconomic improvements, including the sustained appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi against the US dollar, which has contributed to a significant drop in fuel prices.
