Man-on-form Joseph Atule opened scoring for Enyimba in first half stoppage time.
Nasarawa United drew level in the 58th minute through NPFL leading scorer Anas Yusuf, before Ideye struck again four minutes later for the winning goal.
Enyimba have now climbed to seventh with 27 points from 17 matches, while Nasarawa United remain rock bottom with 19 points from as many matches.
