A pressure group called Community Eye wants the National Petroleum Authority to fix high fuel prices at GOIL stations across Ghana. Group leader Ismail Imran sent a letter to NPA head Edudzi Tamakloe asking why the state company sells fuel for more money than private sellers. He points out that GOIL pays fewer taxes and has more gas stations than other companies. Private sellers like Benab Oil, Star Oil, Kinship Oil, Amser Oil, and Puma Oil all offer cheaper fuel to drivers. The government created GOIL to keep fuel prices low for everyone and help control transport costs around the country.

Many bus and taxi groups have stopped buying from GOIL because they find better deals elsewhere. Community Eye asks officials to change how GOIL sets its prices to match its original purpose as a public service. They believe lower prices would help people trust GOIL again and make daily life more affordable. Lower fuel costs could reduce bus fares and food prices for all Ghanaians. The group sees this as important for both consumers and the transportation industry.
