Dumelo proposed this in a Facebook post on his page on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, sparking numerous reactions among his followers.
“Natural shea butter oil can be used for cooking and it’s in abundance in the Northern part of Ghana. So why are we not promoting its use?” he quizzed.

“Use it to fry your meat and fish and thank me later! You can keep it for a very long time…,” Mogtari wrote.
Ghanaians have been lamenting the hikes in the prices of cooking oil. It is just one of the many import-dependent products whose prices have increased due to the depreciation of the Ghana cedi against the US dollar and other major trading currencies.
