He noted  that Monday&#8217;s increase in the prices of petroleum products would  contribute to general hiking in prices of goods and services.<br \/>\nThe  NUGS president appealed to Government to reduce the prices of petroleum  products drastically to ease its effects on students and the general  public.<br \/>\nThe NPA on January 3, 2011, announced that the prices of  gas oil and petrol had gone up by 30 per cent in the ex-pump price while  Liquefied Petroleum Gas rose by 25 per cent. The prices of kerosene and  premix fuel for fishermen remain unchanged.<br \/>\nThe NPA said the new  prices were the result of high crude oil prices on the world market,  increases in the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) debt recovery levy and  distribution margins for oil companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr Anthony Abotsi Afriyie, President of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), on Wednesday called on the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) and the Government to reconsider reducing prices of petroleum products.
