KEY POINTS:
ABUJA - Nigerian schoolchildren who received laptops from a US aid organisation have used them to explore pornographic sites on the internet, the official News Agency of Nigeria says.
"Efforts to promote learning with laptops in a primary school in Abuja have gone awry as the pupils freely browse adult sites with explicit sexual materials," NAN said.
A representative of the One Laptop Per Child aid group was quoted as saying that the computers, part of a pilot scheme, would now be fitted with filters.
