Comprehensive Health Care Academy Mr. Michael Adedokun Mr. Adedokun CEO of the school unilaterally extended course program duration for selfish interest. Instead of providing reasonable explanation for his action, he displayed a nonchalant attitude by tel, Internet

Twelve individuals including this writer were enrolled in comprehensive health academy since september 2011. We paid up to the tune of $3,200 or over in tuition, only to be told on January 4th by Mr. Michael Adedokun, RN that he decided to extend the program from 12months to approximately 16months. When we challenged this decision, Mr. Adedokun said that we can withdraw if we want, and threatened that he decides who pass the course and that he may not sign our petition for graduation when the time comes.

Be advised that Mr. Adedokun has earlier made a selfish move to reduce our classroom hours from M-F 8am-2pm to Mon., Tue., and Fri., 8-2pm; so as to save him money. We have carefully studied our agreement and the school catalog and we have found that Mr. Adedokun is in violation of the contract. There is a provision within his catalog which obligates him to refund us all our cost, but he has held on to both our money and our transcript. Apparently, the education we recieved in his school for the entire period that we were there is useless because no other school in the area will accept us and if they do, we cannot graduate at the time we ought to have graduated.

We are not immune to the economic uproar in the country; we struggle from day to day like most of our low income earning counterparts. The school offers no financial aide, grant or loan, thus we paid out of our individual pocket and some of us have had to borrow the money. We suffer emotional distress which complements the financial and educational loss that we incurred as a result of Mr. Adedokun's actions. Some of us  have lost all hopes and we feel that we have let ourself and our family members down because we were forced to withdraw from the class. We found it difficult to afford and have been managing to pay the $800 a month tuition ($9,500 by the end of the school year), not to talk of the additional 4 months that Mr. Adedokun intended to add.

We feel that we have been treated unfairly because apart from our finances, we have met alot of demanding requirements in preparation for this program. Some of us have purchased nursing uniforms and equipments, some of us have to wake up early in the morning to get ready for class (some reside in Va, others maryland and baltimore) and we commute to the school faithfully, only for Mr. Adedokun to technically cancel the class. Finally, we had no choice but to tender our withdrawal from the program because the 5th of January (just 1 day after we were informed of the decision) was the last day to do so, otherwise we risk derogatory reports being filled against us by comprehensive health academy.
