Commercial transport operators have suspended their planned nationwide strike, which was scheduled to take place on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
The driver unions had intended to withdraw their services in protest against the recently introduced GHC1 levy on petroleum products.
However, following a meeting with officials from the Ministry of Transport, the unions agreed to suspend the action.
According to Samuel Amoah, Deputy Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU), the government assured them that the levy would not lead to an increase in fuel prices.
“What we have to do now is to monitor the situation to see if, by September, there will be any changes. If nothing changes, then it means we do not have a case.
“But if prices go up, it would increase our operational costs—and that’s when we will reconsider our decision. That is why we decided to suspend the strike. We have officially called it off,” Amoah explained.
