The Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana (C-DAG) has raised concerns over what it describes as unauthorised increases in fuel prices at some filling stations across the country and is calling on the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) to investigate the matter.
In a statement issued on June 11, 2026, regional executives of the association alleged that some fuel stations, particularly Shell and TotalEnergies outlets, have increased pump prices despite no official review of fuel prices for the current pricing window.
According to the association, its monitoring indicates that the price of fuel, which previously sold at GH¢15.60 per litre, has risen to about GH¢15.90 per litre.
The group argued that the increase has come at a difficult time for commercial drivers, transport operators, and commuters who are already struggling with rising living costs and operational expenses.
“This unexpected increase is causing significant hardship for commercial drivers, transport operators, and the general public, who are already grappling with the high cost of living and operational expenses,” the statement said.
C-DAG is therefore urging the NPA and other relevant stakeholders to investigate the circumstances surrounding the price adjustments and ensure that all Oil Marketing Companies comply with established fuel pricing regulations.
The association maintained that fuel prices should only be adjusted in line with approved pricing mechanisms and within designated pricing windows.
It further reaffirmed its commitment to advocating fair fuel pricing policies and protecting the interests of drivers and commuters across the country.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
11th June, 2026
CONCERNED DRIVERS ASSOCIATION OF GHANA (C-DAG) REGIONAL EXECUTIVES
CONCERN OVER UNAUTHORIZED FUEL PRICE INCREASES.
The Regional Executives of the Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana wish to draw the urgent attention of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) and all relevant stakeholders to the recent increase in fuel prices at some fuel stations, particularly Shell and TotalEnergies outlets across the country.
Our monitoring has revealed that the pump price of fuel, which was previously selling at GH¢15.60 per litre, has increased to approximately GH¢15.90 per litre despite the fact that the current pricing window has not officially been reviewed or opened for an upward adjustment.
This unexpected increase is causing significant hardship for commercial drivers, transport operators, and the general public, who are already grappling with the high cost of living and operational expenses.
We respectfully call on the National Petroleum Authority to investigate the circumstances surrounding these price increases and ensure that fuel pricing regulations are strictly adhered to by all Oil Marketing Companies.
The Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana remains committed to advocating for fair fuel pricing and protecting the interests of drivers and commuters nationwide.
