Kola Aluko (born 20 October 1969), is a Nigerian businessman with interests in African infrastructure development and aviation.
Six years later, in 2001, Aluko founded Fossil Resources, an indigenous downstream oil and gas company, where he held the role of CEO.
Kola Aluko, with a team of Nigerian and international E&P executives, co-founded Atlantic Energy in 2011, a private upstream oil and gas company, with an increased focus on under-developed producing fields in Nigeria.
It was established in 2011 (and incorporated in the UK in March 2012[5]) by English fashion designer Oswald Boateng, Aluko and Atlantic Energy to support transformational and large scale African developments and infrastructure projects.

In December 2012, Aluko and his Kessel teammates Thomas Kemenater and Maurizio Mediani came third in the final round of the Endurance Champions Cup held at Rome's Vallelunga Circuit in Italy.
