The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is demanding an immediate reduction in fuel prices as the price of crude oil falls on the world market.
In a statement copied to Joy News, the party’s National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi said they have taken notice of the drop in Brent crude prices by over 45 percent.
The commodity from an average price of $63.60 per barrel in January is currently selling at $36 per barrel.
