The area is surrounded by swampland. The town has several [oil wells](/source/oil_wells) that are run by [Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC)](/source/Shell_Petroleum_Development_Company) and [Italy Eni Agip](/source/Italy_Eni_Agip). The presence of crude oil pipelines across the region and frequent crude oil spills have been largely responsible for soil damage. This has led to large-scale frustrations with the oil companies, and has resulted in skirmishes and kidnappings for ransom in some neighboring communities. [Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC)](/source/Shell_Petroleum_Development_Company) responds by sponsoring projects such as clean water supply in Idheze Irri town. Ultimately, regardless of its oil rich resource, it is still highly neglected by the [Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC)](/source/Shell_Petroleum_Development_Company).{{Citation needed|date=April 2026|reason=Any and all material that is unreferenced may be deleted at any time}} On entering the town from the direction of [Ozoro](/source/Ozoro), a neighboring town, you will encounter a shrine and a river called Orobe. It has an Odion-Ologbo as the traditional head of the oldest person in the town. Idheze Irri has two schools, Idheze primary school and a secondary school (Idheze grammar school). The major occupation of the citizens is [farming](/source/farming). ==References== {{reflist}} {{coord|5|31|N|6|17|E|region:NG_type:city|display=title}} {{Isoko South}} Category:Populated places in Isoko South --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Idheze](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idheze) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idheze?action=history)).
