President Muhammadu Buhari is meeting with Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police (IGP), and Musiliu Smith, chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC) in his office.

The IGP and the commission have been at loggerheads over the recruitment of 10,000 constables into the force.

The crisis festered as the two parties could not agree on who has the mandate to carry out the exercise.

Smith led other members of the commission to the presidential villa for the meeting which started about 11.30am.

Also in attendance is Abba Kyari, the chief of staff to the president.

The 2018 annual report of the PSC is also expected to be submitted to the president on Tuesday.

The meeting was in progress as of the time of filing this report.
