He said the commission would also unveil the implementation template for the Host Communities Development Trust that would help tackle restiveness in those communities.
The NUPRC said it had raised a committee to address concerns of awardees bothering on multiple awardees per asset and formation of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV).
