You should have asked if he got the support in Nigeria.
Ujiri did a lot of things in Zaria especially in ABU before shifting focus to East Africa.
He probably didn't get support from Nigeria government.

A Nigerian (Masai) of Nigerian and Kenyan parents, who grew up in Zaria, backed an entity with a Nigerian name (Zaria Group) to build a 10000-seater indoor arena not in Zaria, not in Nigeria but in Kenya!
