You do not know the extent of information required of the board. Everyone who practices for 2 years or more is likely to have additional documents with the board other than basic entry level initial licensing requirements. Continuing education credit, additional certifications etc which are not domicile with that individual’s educational institution but the board.
During verification, total disclosure is expected. All these documents must be gathered and forwarded to the foreign body.
It’s not just attestation as you would assume. It takes a lot of man hours to put all these formation together. And someone has to pay for this additional work load.
Believe me, if before now they were process about 10 monthly, the Japa effect has made that figure times 100. Let’s be fair, they do not have unlimited resources to carter for this increase.

Let me start by saying that processing the verification isn’t free. I did verification 2 years ago, it was almost 70k. Then dollar was 540. Registration with WCEA is $150 just for the certificates. Then additional 40k naira for processing and forwarding the renewed licence. Council rakes in tonnes of money, but all they do is instead of advocating for nurses they victimize them. I’m privy of the verification steps so when you say gathering of all the documents, do you realize that they have gone digital, through their portal. You can now verify, register, request for any information. All they have to do is pull up your data from their system and answer the questionnaire online and email back the form to the foreign council. Well nobody wants to do the job that they are paid for once there is no kick back. Finally, their stringent policy has nothing to do with man power rather they want to stop the emigration of nurses.
