Dan-Ali gave the assurance in Damaturu, Yobe State, on Friday, at a Christmas lunch organised for troops fighting insurgency in the North East.
He acknowledged some of the challenges facing the operations and noted that most of the challenges were being addressed. He also urged the troops to remain committed to the war against insurgency in the North East.
"While your welfare needs are being addressed, I urge you to continue to adhere to all the rules of engagement in your operations.
"I want you all to note that your actions and inactions will be accounted for, you must therefore respect the rights of people in your host communities," he charged.
On his part, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin, commended the sacrifices of troops fighting on different fronts across the country.
He said their contributions in the defeat of terrorism would not be forgotten in a hurry.
Olonisakin, however, urged the troops not to relent in their efforts to effectively end the insurgency.
"We are gradually moving into 2016, therefore, we must not rest on our oars to win the war. As we move into 2016, I want to enjoin you to be more determined to reclaim all lost territories, that is the charge and demand on all of you as we enter the New Year.
"On our part, we will do our best to ensure that all logistics and welfare required to prosecute the war to a logical conclusion were provided," he said.
