The statement read in part: “The association of mass communicators mourns with the deceased family. We understand that it is a very challenging moment for students especially as we just had a similar plight recently”

“We urge everyone to stay united, calm and strong in moments like this, the association would like everyone to know that the association is open to receiving any issue bothering the minds of any student”
