THE DAILY GRAPHIC: says governments assurance to the motoring public that it is resolving the fuel shortage crisis is not enough.  The
paper suggests that government finds the cause of the chaotic
situation so that steps can be taken to avoid a recurrence in future. The Graphic says it is unacceptable to be without a very essential commodity for almost a week.  It thinks the problem should not offer another opportunity for blame games, rather  the country must
collectively find a solution to what has virtually brought the
country's economy on it's knees.

THE GHANAIAN TIMES:  says the premature exit of the Black Stars from the ongoing Fifa World Cup is a serious cause for concern. The paper says in view of the high investment in the players, Ghanaians are anxious to know the root cause of the failure of the team to advance to the next stage of the competition.  According to the paper, GFA and the Black Stars management committee, including the technical bench
should be sanctioned for letting the nation down.  The Times hope that the presidential committee to be set up will investigate thoroughly the indiscipline and set the record straight.
 
THE HERALD: writes on the POTAG strike. According to the  paper,  the Ministry of Education must be proactive and not wait for the President to direct the MInistry to meet the teachers half way.  The paper explains that the teachers are human and they understand that the
country is going through crisis.  It says treating them like they are not important is what is causing them to react.   The herald notes that education is one of the critical sectors of the country and if things are not done right, nothing can go well.  It advises government to make education a priority and tread cautiously before it destroys
it.
