Wiring ceiling fan in new covered patio

Hi, I am having a covered patio built and would like to remove an existing exterior spot light and use that electrical service to wire to a ceiling fan. I need to run the wire up a couple of feet so that it will come out above the new ceiling. The wall is brick veneer, and I'd prefer the electrical be on the inside of the brick. Is this OK? Do I need any conduit or other protection where the wire exits through the brick?

I'd appreciate any advice on how to do this.
