NSA Explains Decision To Deny Hearts Of Oak Access To Accra Sports Stadium

Ghana News, Sports News

Hearts of Oak have been left scrambling for a venue once again after the National Sports Authority (NSA) denied them access to the Accra Sports Stadium for their Ghana Premier League clash against Nations FC. The Phobians had hoped to return to their traditional home ground, but the NSA rejected their request, citing two key reasons. First, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) publicly announced the venue without securing official approval. Second, Hearts of Oak’s request came too late, making it impossible to complete the necessary protocols. With their home venue at the University of Ghana Stadium also closed for renovations ahead of the CAF African Schools Football Championship, Hearts of Oak have been forced to settle for the Tuba Astroturf for Wednesday’s game. This deci...

Fuel Prices Rise Amid Global Oil Supply Constraints

Business News, Ghana News

Ghanaian consumers will see a slight increase in fuel prices at the pumps starting today, April 2, 2025. Petrol and diesel prices are set to rise due to increasing global crude oil prices. However, not all Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) will adjust their rates, as competition in the market forces some to hold prices steady to retain customers. Petrol prices are expected to increase by 2%, bringing the cost per liter to GHC 15.20, while diesel prices will see a 1.1% rise to GHC 15.35 per liter. In contrast, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is set for a slight reduction of 0.3%, selling at GHC 17.30 per kilogram.
