A Ghanaian student has expressed frustration over the high cost of living in Accra compared to Kumasi, highlighting the significant difference in food expenses between the two cities.

Having lived in Accra for the majority of his life and recently spending two years in Kumasi, the student shared his observations on the affordability of food in the two cities.

"In Kumasi, you can spend GHC10 in the morning on food, and this can sustain you till evening. In the evening, you also spend GHC10. This, in total, is GHC20," he explained. However, in Accra, even GHC50 is insufficient to provide food for the whole day.

The student particularly lamented the high cost of noodles, specifically mentioning Indomie, a popular instant noodle brand.

He noted that in Accra, the product is sold at GHC30 and above, reflecting the overall higher cost of living in the capital city. What he spends in Accra is more than enough to take care of his feeding for more than a day.

The disparity in food prices between Accra and Kumasi highlights the economic challenges faced by residents, especially students and individuals on limited budgets.

The student's experience underscores the need for measures to address the affordability of essential goods and services in Accra to ensure a better quality of life for all residents.
