    President-elect Olusegun Obasanjo - who in 12 days begins his first four-year term as Nigeria's head of state, has said he will ensure justice, peace and prosperity for all Nigerians and make the nation proud, the Nigerian Television Authority reported. Obasanjo made the comments on Saturday at a rally in the north-eastern town of Yola. Speaking later in the central city of Jos, he said his administration would review some abandoned projects and perhaps revive those which were viable, the Nigerian newspaper, `Post Express', reported on Sunday. Obasanjo vowed to undertake only those projects that could improve the lives of the general public, the paper added.
